Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz activated the state’s National Guard in the wake of the fatal shooting of an armed Minneapolis man who allegedly tried to intervene as federal agents arrested a migrant.
It’s unclear how many Guard members are being called in, as National Guard Major Gen. Shawn Menke called the number “adequate for this request,” referring to a plea for assistance from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s office.
Walz slammed the Trump administration Saturday, declaring state authorities would probe the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

Every single ICE agent should be treated as a gang unit and charge the same.
They executed two people. On camera. Those agents with them, should also be charged with committing the same crime as their fellow officer.
Edit – by agents with them, I mean the agents in that location. Those officers should’ve self arrested the offender on the spot. As for those dying in detention centers, those should also be charged at a state level.

And what if there is some conflict between the National Guard and ICE or Trump sends the army from elsewhere?
If the National Guard were to surround and arrest all ICE agents in Minnesota, Trump probably would only respond with long, rambling, angry posts on Truth Social. Trump is a total coward and anytime anyone actually stands up to him, he usually backs down.
Every ICE agent in Minnesota should be arrested, have their weapons confiscated and sent back to DC in orange jumpsuits; including ICE Barbie. If that were to happen, ICE would never dare to invade another state again.
Start arresting ICE agents otherwise you are doing nothing.

Domestic terrorist organization ICE murdered Alex Jeffrey Pretti, just like murderer ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good. Innocent man and murder victim Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a US citizen and [per Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, “The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry,”](https://time.com/7357547/minneapolis-shooting-ice-agent/). As seen in multiple videos, including the one found in [this article](https://www.commondreams.org/news/minneapolis-shooting-video), innocent man and murder victim Alex Pretti was not forcibly impeding ICE agents from doing their jobs.
He was trying to help a woman who had been assaulted by domestic terrorist ICE agents, as he and another woman were also assaulted and pepper sprayed. Alex Pretti was then thrown to the ground and assaulted by multiple domestic terrorist ICE agents. He never reached for or drew his gun, which he was **legally** permitted to carry. Instead, [an ICE criminal and domestic terrorist saw his gun on his waistband, safely removed it and began running to a vehicle, as he shouted “Gun”. Innocent man and murder victim Alex Jeffrey Pretti was **completely disarmed** at this point, and what shot and murdered ***from behind*** moments later, once again, **AFTER HE NO LONGER HAD HIS LEGALLY PERMITTED GUN ON HIM.**](https://imgur.com/gallery/still-frame-proof-that-protestor-was-murdered-was-not-self-defense-on-part-of-ice-3nteGpT)
[DHS Use of Safe Tactics](https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/2024-09/exhibit_09_-_cbp_use_of_force_policy_final_jan_2021.pdf) states that “A use of deadly force is “necessary” when the officer/agent has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to the officer/agent or to another person.” Innocent man and murder victim Alex Jeffrey Pretti was completely unarmed and on his knees after being assaulted by domestic terrorist ICE agent thugs before he was murdered. He posed no imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to anyone. Domestic terrorist organization ICE once again shows that it doesn’t care about policy, training, laws, or the lives of anyone in their immediate vicinity.

Fuck off with nypost.com. They still write shit like “Pretti, 37, allegedly brandished a weapon as Customs and Border Patrol agents attempted to arrest a criminal migrant outside a donut shop, federal authorities said.”
No he wasn’t. There’s video clearly showing him with his phone filming the agents and they proceed to shove him and 2 women away, pepper spraying them, then jumping him when he tries to help one of the women back up (one post indicated it was his mother). They then jumped him, grabbed his gun for which he had a legal carry permit, and then shot him, before emptying another 10 rounds into him.

Serious question. Dude gets attacked by 6 fed agents — is he not allowed to defend himself? Like those guys were pummeling him — let’s say he reaches for his gun in self defense, that’s now a terrorist move? So people just have to sit and take violence done to them by federal agents?
